- BRIDGE DISK ENCAPSULATION AND ITS REQUIREMENTS
-
-
- The following tables indicate some of the requirements that have been
- determined with the individual encapsulated applications available from the
- Bridge Disk. The amount of free memory required may vary from system to
- system depending on their configurations. The encapsulated applications
- are installed either as objects or tools:
-

- Encapsulated Applications Installed as OBJECTS...

-
- DATA FILE BYTES OF NEWWAVE
- EXTENSION FREE MEMORY DIRECTORY NAME
- APPLICATION NAME REQUIRED REQUIRED ** (\HPNWDOS\...)

- ** This is the approximate amount of free memory needed BEFORE starting
- NewWave (use the DOS CHKDSK.COM utility to find out how much a system has).
- Note that this is the worst case. On many systems (typically those with
- VGA monitors), about 15,000 bytes less may be needed (again, this is
- dependent upon many factors including the system and monitor type).

- BRIDGE DISK ENCAPSULATION AND SOME POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
-
-
-
- The following section lists some of the potential problems that have been
- experienced with the individual encapsulated applications. Note that these
- potential problems may vary from system to system depending on the amount
- of free memory and their configurations. Also, some systems may experience
- more problems than the ones listed here:
-
-
- AdvanceLink B.02.00
-
- - If there is not enough memory to run AdvanceLink, change the memory
- required field in the PIF file (\HPNWDOS\PIF\HPADVLNK.PIF) to 300K using
- the PIF editor (PIFEDIT.EXE). Note that with this amount of memory,
- access to DOS commands within AdvanceLink sometimes fails due to the lack
- of memory.
-
- - AdvanceLink configured for graphics terminal emulation may not work due
- to the lack of memory.
-
-
- AdvanceWrite Plus F.03.00
-
- - The Document Preview feature may not work due to the lack of memory.
-
- - The Spreadsheet feature may not work due to the lack of memory.
-
- - The Thesaurus locked in memory may not work due to the lack of memory
- (although using the Thesaurus "on demand" should).
-
- - Nothing can be in the process of being printed from within NewWave when
- printing from AdvanceWrite Plus or the outputs may become intermixed.
-
-
- HP Word/PC A.03.03
-
- - Spell checking and hyphenation may not work due to the lack of memory.
-
- - Graphics printing may not work due to the lack of memory.
-
- - Nothing can be in the process of being printed from within NewWave when
- printing from HP Word/PC or the outputs may become intermixed.
-
-
- MicroSoft Excel 2.1
-
- - If Excel will not run under NewWave due to the lack of memory, then
- change the following line in the NEWWAVE.BAT file :
-
- C:\HPNWDATA\newwave win.com .....
-
- to include the /290 parameter :
-
- C:\HPNWDATA\newwave /290 win.com .....
-
- This will move the EMS line so that Excel will get the amount of memory
- it needs (provided it is available). If Excel still does not work,
- change the NEWWAVE.BAT file back to its original state.
-
-
- MicroSoft Word 4.0
-
- - Spell checking may not work due to the lack of memory.
-
-
- WordStar Professional 5.0
-
- - Background printing may not work due to the lack of memory.
-
- - The Mail List feature may not work due to the lack of memory.
-

-
- BRIDGE DISK ENCAPSULATION AND OTHER POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
-
-
-
- For some of the encapsulated applications, there may be more than just the
- data file associated with it (such as a backup, index, and/or table of
- contents file for AdvanceWrite). This is considered a problem in the sense
- that when an encapsulated object is created, only the data file is attached
- to it. If this object is mailed or exported, the associated or referenced
- files are not mailed/exported along with it.
-
- This situation can be circumvented provided that all the referenced files
- have the same base file name but with different file name extensions. If
- the referenced files are placed in the same directory as the encapsulated
- object's data file, then when the object is mailed or exported, the
- referenced files are mailed/exported as well.
